Internship for High School Student
Are you interested in an electric utility career, such as line work? Now is your opportunity to earn while you learn. United Electric Co-op is offering a paid summer internship to a student who has completed their junior or senior year of high school.
Applications are available in our office or on our website, and should be submitted with a cover letter and high school transcript. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Thursday, April 23.
For more information on the lineworker internship, contact Dakota Searle at (208) 312-3303.
Level Pay for Residential Meters
Now is the time to think about signing up for level pay, a program that averages your electric bills from the previous 12 months and creates a level payment amount on each month’s bill. Credit accumulates during the summer, offsetting higher winter bills.
Sign-up for level pay is in April, and payments begin in May. When high winter bills hit your mailbox, it is too late.
If interested, call the office at (208) 679-2222 after the first week of April to find out the amount of your level payment.
Irrigation Connections
Remember that pumps are not deactivated through the winter. If you requested a pump disconnect for work done last fall, you may need to request a connection when you are ready to use the pump this season.
